The trophies are lined up, votes have been counted and finally it's Country Music's BIGGEST night! The 52nd annual CMA awards are tonight.

Chris Stapleton leads the pack with five nominations: male vocalist of the year, single of the year, album of the year, song of the year and the coveted entertainer of the year. Several artists received three nominations this year, including Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Dan + Shay and Florida Georgia Line.

We will be staying up late covering the winners, most buzzed-about moments and the red carpet fashion at the show. Join in the conversation with us tonight, like us on facebook and following us on Twitter.
